Abstract

The results of the recently performed randomised trials support the conclusion that adjuvant chemotherapy confers survival advantage in early stage in non-small cell lung cancer, and now has become the standard of care for patients with resected stage II and IIIA. The role of adjuvant chemotherapy for stage I disease remains controversial. Only some patients benefit from systemic adjuvant therapy and we need to identify factors of patients most likely to respond to chemotherapy. The purpose of this article is to provide a general overview of adjuvant chemotherapy for early stage in non-small cell lung cancer.
